MST Performance Induction Kit Hybrid Turbos Golf MK7 GTI/R - Audi S3 8V
MST Performance Cold Air Intake – MST-VW-MK777V2
The MST Performance MST-VW-MK777V2 is a complete cold-air intake for various VAG models with a 1.8 or 2.0 TSI/TFSI EA888 Gen 3 engine on the MQB platform. This V2 version has been specially developed for vehicles with a hybrid turbo and a larger turbo inlet connection.
The kit replaces the restrictive original air filter housing and intake hose and features an enlarged 3-inch silicone intake hose and a 3-inch aluminum Hybrid Turbo Inlet Elbow. This creates a more direct and less restrictive intake path to the hybrid turbo, optimizing airflow at higher power outputs.
The large dry, pleated sport air filter is shielded by a black powder-coated heat shield. This better protects the filter from heat from the engine bay and allows cool air to be supplied more efficiently towards the turbo. The intake also provides a noticeably sportier induction and turbo sound and sharper throttle response. MST states a maximum power gain of approximately 12 to 14 hp, depending on the car, hybrid turbo, and other modifications.

Please note
This version is exclusively intended for vehicles with a suitable hybrid turbo and a larger turbo inlet connection. The included Hybrid Turbo Inlet Elbow is not suitable for standard IS12, IS20, or IS38 turbos. For vehicles with the original turbo, the MST-VW-MK777 is the correct choice. Always check the engine code, turbo, and turbo inlet connection before ordering.
This version immediately clarifies the difference with the MK777:
- MK777 = original IS12/IS20/IS38 turbos (OEM connection).
- MK777V2 = hybrid turbos with larger inlet.
That is precisely the distinction MST itself makes; vehicle compatibility otherwise remains the same.
